Just bending down to pick something off the floor can be dicey if your back is giving you trouble.   You look at that spoon that fell down and think “Is it worth trying to pick it up?  Will I be able to straighten out once I bend down?”

When your back is on that edge of going into spasm at any moment, you can help it out by stretching it right where you are.  Tilting the pelvis will lengthen the lower back and allow you to keep moving.

Tilting the pelvis as you stand, sit, or lie down will instantly stretch out your lower back and bring relief.

This is especially important for people with slipped discs.

This three minute clip shows you how to tilt your pelvis while standing. Do it sitting or lying down too.
